"So be it. Isn't it better to jump into the Dark Abyss now? We'll jump when we reach the inner city. Besides, I was standing right beside the Dark Abyss when I was at Xianchi, but I wasn't sucked into the vortex. Perhaps it means I'm from Bo City. "Zhang Xiaohou forced a smile.
"If you're going, I'm going too," said Su Xiaoluo firmly.
"Houzi, are you sure you want to jump into the Dark Abyss?" Mofan looked at Zhang Xiaohou sternly.
"Brother Fan …" Zhang Xiaohou looked at Mofan and suddenly choked with sobs. He said in a broken voice, "So many people are going to die. I really don't want to see it happen again. It's great to be alive … everyone is still alive. I have no idea what the tradition of my family has to do with the villages, nor do I know if I still have the bloodline after a few thousand years … but it doesn't matter if it's one-thousandth, one-ten-thousandth, even if it's not at all … I don't want to wait until the Dark Abyss devours the city, the people, and all of you. When the city is destroyed, everyone is dead, but I might still be alive. When that happens, I'll have the urge to kill myself, because I could have … I could have saved everyone! "
The ground was littered with corpses and skeletons. Beside him were the people he was most familiar with, yet he was the only one alive. Zhang Xiaohou believed he would never feel relieved for having the bloodline of Bo City. He would forever live in guilt and guilt.
Zhang Xiaohou said with a sobbing tone. He had witnessed how terrifying the Dark Abyss was. The most painful death for him was to jump into it.
He cried because he was afraid. He had never faced such fear before, but the words that came out of his mouth represented his heart.
It was not because he wanted to look noble, but because he did not want to be left with an empty shell when there was only a one-thousandth, or even one-ten-thousandth chance of having the bloodline of Bo City. He did not want to live a life worse than death!
Zhang Xiaohou's words echoed under the bell and in everyone's hearts. Even the cold-faced Super Magicians were touched.
Mofan originally wanted to persuade Zhang Xiaohou, but Zhang Xiaohou's words really convinced him.
"Fang Gu, I drank Geyser Spring. Do you think I'll be fine if I jump down?" Mofan glanced at Fang Gu and asked seriously.
"I don't know either, but according to our secret training, your Bo City's Geyser Spring should be higher than the Water of Kun … Did you drink it all by yourself? I don't think the undead of the Dark Abyss will do anything to you. The ancestor will come out and kill you himself, "replied Fang Gu.
"Mofan, you're going too?" Zhou Min looked at him in surprise.
"Since I'm going to die either way, I'll choose the hard way. That being said, now that we have someone that can jump into the Dark Abyss, I'm still worried about one thing. How are we going to reach the Dark Abyss? Don't forget, it's still a few kilometers away from the An Yuan Gate. There are so many undead along the way that we can stack up into a human pyramid, "replied Mofan.
Everyone was stumped by the words.
It was true that the Dark Abyss was located outside the Dark Abyss, which was filled with undead. It would be difficult to reach the Dark Abyss!
"Humph, do you really think we're just decorations!?" said Zhu Meng, blowing his beard.
"We'll clear a path for you!" said Du Xiao decisively. He stepped forward too.
"I even made a bet with Li Yujian. Whoever kills the least undead will be his errand boy in the Underworld. It's fine now, since there's still hope, let's kill them all!" The Elder of the Enforcement Union, Shi Zheng, was a straightforward man.
"If we're going to stay alive, the bet counts too," said Li Yujian.
Han Ji's eyes flickered when he saw the authorities were willing to clear a path for them.
Compared to the dead silence before, the news was more exciting!
He wondered how Salan was feeling right now.
"To prevent Salan from killing them, I'll protect them until we reach the Dark Abyss!" said Han Ji.
"President, you're going out too?" asked the mysterious man curiously.
"Salan is among us. I believe he's going to take advantage of the chaos to silence them. I'll protect them myself. I doubt he has the guts to come and get himself killed!" said Han Ji coldly, as if he was a completely different person from before.
"Alright, if the president is willing to fight alongside us, what else can we say? Those who are under house arrest will join the battle. Some will stay behind to defend the city, and prevent the Undead Rulers from attacking the barrier at the same time, "ordered Commander Yao Ting.
"Zhang Xiaohou, well done, our division is proud of you!" Chief Military Instructor Fei Jiao patted Zhang Xiaohou's shoulder heavily.
"The Dark Abyss is going to drift in no time. We'll gather the people who are going to clear the path of the undead. We must escort them to the entrance of the Dark Abyss safely!"
"Guys, we're counting on you. If we succeed, you'll be heroes. If we fail, it doesn't matter. We'll just drink and enjoy ourselves in the underworld."
"That's more like it. The more we cry, the happier the Black Vatican will be. We'll make them feel uncomfortable even if we die. Black Vatican, if you dare, I'll fight you on the drum tower now. I'll beat you until you're begging for mercy!"
"President, what should we do with this Hu Jin? He's still kneeling there?" asked the mysterious man.
"If he dares to show up here, he must be prepared to die for Salan. Just chain him to the bell, so the whole city can see his face …" said the president.
Mu He was indeed prepared to die for Salan. He was still kneeling there, as if he was worshipping a deity. He must be crazy!
It was meaningless to kill someone like him. The best way to deal with him was to hang him up.
If they managed to resolve the calamity, they would not let him die in peace!
The president sealed Mu He's mind and hung him up with chains.
However, Mu He was already prepared to sacrifice himself. He was still laughing wildly while mumbling about the ceremony, the investiture of the gods, Salan, and the Grim Reaper. He would ramble incoherently at times.
No one cared about him now. Everyone had a common goal. They would do everything they could to achieve it!
…
"Yao Ting, are these all the people you can mobilize from your army?" asked Han Ji.
"That's all. We need a bunch of people to stay in the inner city. Otherwise, the outcome will be the same when we break through the barrier and the undead invade the city …"
"Yeah, we still need enough people to stay in the inner city to prevent the Black Vatican from taking advantage of the situation," said Lu Xu.
"That's too little. We won't be able to reach the Dark Abyss," said the mysterious man.
"I have a plan, but it's going to involve a lot of sacrifices … of course, it's voluntary," said Shi Zheng.
Everyone's expression changed when they heard Shi Zheng's plan. They all shook their heads.
However, Shi Zheng insisted, "I already said, it's voluntary. We'll gather the volunteers now. It doesn't matter if they're willing or not, we still have to make our way there. Time is running out. "
"Then … there's no need to hide it.
